Redbud Blur
The subject is a Oklahoma Redbud Tree. An orchard of them are planted in the grounds of the Oklahoma City National Memorial in an area known as the Rescuers' Orchard. See http://www.oklahomacitynationalmemorial.org/index.php for more info on the memorial.
This day in April was quite blustery lending itself to intentional blurs of the trees handheld with a slow shutter speed. Comments welcome.

The feeling of motion is lovely as is the softness created by the blur. Colors are also very pleasing. I suspect this is hard to do well! And you HAVE done it well.:)
I don't usually like all over blurs but this one has great color and pattern to it. I could see using this as a texture layer in a floral photograph...
Just perfect Robert Works well for me The strong color with a complementing bg make the image !!!
I love the texture, Robert, well done :)
What I like most about this is the "subject" in the lower left thirds position. How did you create the blur or is the blur from the wind?

Blur was caused by a very strong gusting wind. I originally cropped this to the left third portion of the image as I felt that was the strongest part of it graphically but decided to post it full frame to see if I got any recommendations on cropping.
Thanks for the info Robert. I love the COMP as is.

Thanks for the feedback. I went back to my other crops and now realize why I went with the full frame - it feels lacking without the right half.
